Kilovolts per meter: conversions & definition
Kilovolts per meter (kV/m) represent electric field strength. One unit equals 10^3 V/m. Electric field strength can be expressed as potential gradient in volts per meter.

Keep the quantity consistent
Choose units that represent the same quantity and preserve the measurement conditions. A scale conversion changes the number and unit together; it does not change the physical amount or improve the accuracy of your measurement.
